PFF grades the QBs in 2019.
Get the man some protection.
6. KIRK COUSINS, MINNESOTA VIKINGSAfter a slow start to the season and one of the worst games of his career in Week 2 against the Packers, Cousins turned things around to put together the best performance of his career and his second top-10 finish in PFF grading. He took to the Vikings’ outside zone/play action-heavy scheme, working well both inside and outside the pocket. Cousins was incredibly accurate at the intermediate (10 to 19 yards downfield) level, and he cut down on his turnover-worthy plays. The biggest improvement this season was his increase of 3.8 percentage points in positively graded throw rate, the third-highest mark in the NFL, and that's a credit to the system and supporting cast in Minnesota, even with their injury woes. Overall, it was a strong second season for Cousins, who improved his game and came through in big spots over the course of the year.
Key Stat from QB Annual: Cousins finished with the No. 4 PFF grade from a clean pocket, but he ranked just 23rd under pressure.

@"medaille" said:@"Canthony" said:Totally agree. Rick wants more picks so he doesn’t have to compete on the UDFA market for guys that he likes. If there’s a guy you want, you don’t have to worry about him just liking a different town or team better. You don’t have to worry about another team just paying more. You just pick your guy and he’s yours. Then when its time to go get those UDFAs your list of needs you need to fill is a little bit smaller and you can focus on them more.@"MaroonBells" said:Plus, it helps you with UDFA as you can get them on a rookie pay scale and you don't have to get into a bidding war. Especially with a team that has to save cap. Trade down and that is how you save money as well. Just a thought on my part and you can tell me I am wrong. It's cool.@"comet52" said: Rick rarely trades up on d-day, he trades down and DOMINATES THE 7th ROUND!!! B) I know everyone complains when we trade down for 7th rounders. But after hitting on Bisi, Odenigbo, Kearse, Weatherly, and Stephen in the 7th round, it might be time to stop.
You have to fill camp up. Why not fill it with another 3-5 guys that you truly like and have on your board. I think its a smarter way to go, especially with a roster like we had last year that didn't have a ton of holes to fill. We were in a win now mode and that allowed us to trade down, to not only save money, but to get guys we like with even grades like Maroon said. We don't have to worry about losing a guy because he wants to be in Florida or play with his buddy. Or that the Lions offered more money and he goes there.
